BIGTRUCK Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Got this one done but had to make a new interior because the kit interior really didnt have any detail at all , all I used was the seat. Door panels made from Evergreen plastic and P/E handles.Glass was made from clear .007. Rear tires are from the AMT slicks set.Front tires are kit tires painted with Tamiya acrylic flat white. Dropped body and radiator shell down lower, parts box Showrod front axle. Rest of the kit was built right from the box.
espo Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 Very nice looking little coupe. The White Headers really give it the period look. You mentioned using Tamiya paint for the Whit Walls. I just tried that last week and it didn't turn out well. Can you offer any suggestions on your process in making the White Walls ??

Just used Tamiya acrylic flat white right from the bottle, if it doesnt coat right the first time , let it dry all the way before a second coat.

Thank you for the info. I had sprayed Tamiya White Primer from the can and that may have been my problem. I'll try the brush paint next time.
